    “Schools are closing? Where do I send my children?” “How do I afford healthcare?” “I can’t afford to take off work!” “I don’t have guarenteed housing if I leave school!” The issues the virus is causing are literally everything progressives have been trying to fix for years.

    I wrote a blog post about PHP-CFG []. This library generates the Control Flow Graph of a PHP file. This post would be a good starting point to get familiar with this library. Kudos to its authors and .

    the threat posed by coronavirus is less that you personally will die, but that the healthcare system will collapse tech people: you should know this, coronavirus is fundamentally a DDoS of our healthcare infra

    The amount of support needed for people who have shittastic managers is staggering. Mind you my complaint is about the managers and not the people I give support to. I really want to return to being my asshole self can't managers leave the "being an asshole" to us ICs.

    Sanders is 1,933 delegates short of what he needs to win. Warren is 1,983 short. So don’t let anyone tell you this is over and you can’t vote for who you want on Super Tuesday.

    That's fine if you're just hacking together something for yourself, but I'd avoid this syntactic sugar in production code.

    Let’s be clear, public health, not corporate profits, must be the number one focus of our coronavirus response. A vaccine that’s just for rich people won’t do much to protect public health.

    ‼️ Azar refuses to promise a coronavirus vaccine will be affordable for anyone: "We would want to ensure that we work to make it affordable, but we can't control that price, because we need the private sector to invest.. Price controls won't get us there."

    I like Warren a lot, and I identify with her in ways that are uncomfortable to quantify, and it’s painful (like, real heartache) to see her get this far and be trashed and counted out because she is hands down one of the best candidates I’ve seen in my lifetime.

    Republicans have been waging a war on science, women’s reproductive freedom, and fetal tissue research for so long that we have no vaccine for the coronavirus despite having more than 17 years to prepare since the SARS outbreak first alerted us to the dangers of coronaviruses.

    GDPR would cover some of this (example, they waive all liability for the security of their software), but this goes way beyond privacy. Hardware, that I have already purchased, should not be subject to EULA. Full stop. The fact that it is common is abusive and dangerous.

    If you don't want that liability, your *only* alternative should be to make the API and protocols public domain, so that there are alternative implementations. But having proprietary protocols to hardware, and waiving all liability, should not both be permitted.

    I really wish someone would push anti-EULA legislation. Especially when said software is required to use hardware that you purchased and own. No, I don't want to "accept all risk to loss of all data due to using this software". You, as the manufacturer should be liable.

    This morning I learned that my role at Google has been eliminated. If you've got an opening for someone who's in Kubernetes and containers security, focuses on content, advocacy, and communication, and has an OSS background, holler!
